Re: Diver Flag

I rigged a universal antenna mount on gunwale. Threaded end on holder mates to a 3/4" pvc female to slip fitting. A piece of pvc 3/4 in pipe with a cap on end is mast. I Velcro strap it to the bimini top frame. Flag hangs on a couple of small ss eye bolts. Easy, cheap and can be stowed or lowered to bow rail and Velcro strapped to secure during transport.

I also have a commercially made styro ball with a 4 ft whip antenna type mast up through center. It protrudes out the bottom with a lead counterweight. Tie off string goes on a 25 ft stout line to a 16 oz. bank sinker. A 2 in dia. X 10 in L pvc pipe with v notches in either end for wrapping and securing line when transporting. Use this at jetties and shallows.
